Scene in a Confederate c,mn.

One affair, of which l was al eye witness.
was very ludicrous. We were in parole camp
during the winter Of 1864 ut Enteruise.
Miss, and, of course, in winter quarters. Tho
cabins were constructed with the s~trictest re-
gard to economy i'll material and labor, al
thoughthe former was III wasteful abundance.
A mud chimney eight feet high was fairly in
proportion with the rest of the structure.
This description is necessary to understand
what follows. AT this time wheat -four was
almost unknown in the lower south. and an
occasional ration of it was hailed as a God
send. 1t was on such an occasion that a half
wltted soldier could he seen through his open
cabin door carefully baking some biscuits
for supper. Ono of my men told me to take
post i'll the darkness outside so as to COM
mand a view OF the fireplace, and to await
results.
Very soon l observed q comnlotion in tho
cabin. 1t was suddenly filled with smoke,
and when this cleared away the occupant ap-
peared to be counting his biscuit. He gazed
around the room in a daZetl sort of way.
looked under his bunk and finally peeped out
doors, rs If looking for something. While
this was TRANSPORTING the wag had joined me,
with n hot biscuit in his hand, and explained
his modus operandi. lie had rolled a block
near the chimney, ami armed with Il piece of
pine bark and n long, sharp stick, he mounted
it, inserted his stick i'll he chimney and
waited. When his victim lifted the lid to in
spect his treasures, the bark closed the mouth
of the chimney, driving the dense pine smoke
into his face, binding and sitting him. In
al instant u biscuit was stuck. whisked up
the chimney and the joker was gone. Thi,
was repeated until the terror stricken cook
fled from his hut in dismay, with the firm be-
lief that the devil OF u witch had possession
md was carrying off his supper on Il broom
stick. And such continued to be his belief,
md it must be confessed that it was founded
upon much better evidence than that usually
given i'll support of II ghost story.-Ex-Con-
federate Colonel i'll Philadelphia Times.

THE very irreverent Sam Small is lee
turing in New Orleans and has brought
down upon his head the wrath Of the
French and German residents CT the city
by his plain manner Of speaking. Like
Ex- Minister Jackson, Sam had to furnish
diagram to his sermon or lecture, but
unlike our late representatives to the
halls of the Montezumss, he has nothing
to qualify or take back. To use his own
unrivslled, and st the same time, pecu-
liarly orthodox phrsseology, she ain't
built that way" He says Whist he thinks
and sticks to it. Sam is an old news
paper man and he knows that ii nobody
gets mad at what he says, very little at
tention will be paid to him.

We Ought to Profit by tho Success OF the
Dallss Fair.
FORT WORTH, TEN Nov. 5, 1887.
Communicated.
The great State Fair and Dallas Expo
sitiop, with al Of its teachings, is now G
part of the history of our live, thrifty SIS
ter city, and the question to the ordinary
observer is, shall we profit by the lessons
so plainly taught? That it was grand
success I am proud to admit. Now, can
Fort Worth afford to stand still on the
glory of her many miles of water pipes,
her grand lines of graded and grsveled
streets, her $50 artesian wells, her eplen-
did school system, whose 1900 children
are daily taught IN her public schools,
her reputation as convention end rail-
road center, the unbOundec hospitality
and generosity of her $4,000 inhabit-
snts? I trow not. What say you

and is more systematic in its work than
other churches IN New York. In attending
to this noble work the wonder is that
their hearts are not melted with pity
Whist is the condition of the working peo-
pie as they find it in New York o-dsJ?
Let US take the women alone. Two hun
dred thousand of them, and their highest
average are 81 per week! Nearly one
half of them have to work sixteen hours
per day to earn S5 week. Competition
In the labor market is the cause
of IL. Is it any wonder then
that the city is full Of dissolute
and fallen women? Is it any won
der that there are, as was stated in g
recent lecture, 1000 women in that city
of culture who are prostituting them
selves in order to keep their poor souls
in their bodies? Is not this state OF
things which would shsme savages
Does it not give the lie every day to an
assumed Christianity that looks away
from these facts2 We repeat, If the
Episcopal church has laid its hands upon
these things We wish it heartfelt God

snd grandest, our mothers, wives,
sweethearts, sisters, lsdies all, what
say you? We have oft before
pulled together with grand and praise
worthy success, the wonder of all who
have seen our city and the admiration OF all
live, go-ahead people who have visited US.
What says our great GAZETTE? Let's
reason together. Say 1t will cost Us
100000 to stsrt such an enterprise as
the Fort will only entertsin. Extrsvagsnt,
say you? Let's see. In fourteen days
the railroads carried an average of 500
people every day to Dallas from the in
habitants OF the Fort. These people aver
aged say, $40 piece spent in DslIas anG
at the fair grounds. Fourteen days null
tipiied By 500 people makes 1000 people;
these multiplied by $40 each makes
SIC. goo. Don't you know these 1880
people Of our citizens would pass the
gates OF our fair every day. Say seven
days for the first Vesr; 1000 people null
tplied by seven days makes 49, 600 peo-
ple, at so cents each, gate fees, makes
1924, 500. This alone Is heavy per cent.
on 5000, 900 for one year.
The sale Of space brings large profits
for the outlay. Then count the 100 towns
and cities, our neighbors, who are al
ways proud Of our success and ready to
help US and enjoy good time, with 5
trip of pleasure from home with the wife
and children. One hundred people only
are visitors from 100 towns, spending S.
each with US, is $4,000; then say 100
people eacn from ten states, $50, 900; alI
equal to 1924 500 the first year. This
takes brains that are active, vim and en-
ergy, but we've got them all and to spare.
The place, certainly-the Confederate
reunion grounds and the Afford place
comoined-1Ould be almost double the
grounds required. Then the Roe place
on that beautiful level plateau
on the RIO Grande Railroad;
the beautiful level grounds JUST
opposite the waterHorks. The Van
Zandt pasture, the race track, or that
beautiful site on the Fort Worth and
Denver beyond Hodge. Too far out? Whal
are you thinking shout? Don't you know
railroads, telegraphs and phones snni-
hilate distance; and that the Dallas fair
grounds are five miles from her court
mouse?
Further, csn't every one Of say &C. 900
Of our people give So apiece every yer
for five years; 20 coo people multiplied
by 81 is equal to $40, 600 3 year or $500, =
900 IN five years. Il that time property
Is paid fo-, and by three years, with good
frugal, honest management, the interest
will have so Increased that 5000 900 or
$1,000 will be taken in each yer. Let
Us nave the fair. PROGRESS.

HEREDITARY LEGISLATORS.

We may, ct times, think our system OF
eIecting lawmakers is defective, but the
worst mistakes made at the ballot box
are but Of temporary duration. II we
consider the facts as they really ere in
England SIS presented by very able writ
er, we will feel more kindly towards cur
system of elections, bad ss it is. George
r. Sims in the Rsferee says:
"You ay be an idiot or you may be insane,
but neither your idiocy nor your insanity for
bids you voting in the upper chamber, as was
shown VIII IN, SO as to make sure of majority
over thelast reform bill Lord Salisbury brought
several peers from private lunatic as7lums or
the recesses of heir own houses, whence they
had not been for q loSg while, with their keep
ers and attendants. They came, some OF them
in that tongue lolling state of imbecility which
must have made all who cav them bless God
once again that we have House of Lords, and
wonder that God does not bless Himself for 1t
also; and when they had registered their votes
against the wishes of the majority of the fai h.
full Commons, they were taken back again to
the places whence they came, to play on barrel
or ans, dress themselves as little boys not yet
breeehed, stand constantly on their heads, lie
huddled a0d helpless in corners, or do any one
OF the numerous things that are known TO be
done by ten or dozen, II not more, of Eng
lands hereditary legislators.
The heir of the noblest house In the entire
British peerage is not only physically bereft /;
he is absolutely in mental darkness. Bat that
will not prevent his being taken to the House
one of these days should his vote be necessary
for the sid" he adorns. There Is courtesy earl
in the south country who will in due course be
q marquis, who has to be strapped down in his
bed % nights, and ia never left by himself.
This some day to- be hereditary legislator is
now and again allowed to hunt the fox or the
hare or the stag; but in the field no is always
accompanied by four keepers, all better
mounted than he is himself, all good horse
m IN and all ready to prevent his getting into
mischief or making too awful an exhibition of
himself

LABOR IN NEW YORK.

The Episcopal clergymen and promi-
nent laymen of New York are giving
earnest thought to the condition Of labor-
ing people in the great city OF the Union.
At recent meeting, the Episcopal church
considered and favored the uplifting OF
labor by sermons on the labor question,
by the proper use OF the press and by
labor tracts, by lectures, prayers, and
the encouragement of conscientious
use Of the ballot by precept and example.
At the meeting referred to, Bishop
Huntington dWelt elosuently upon
the necessity of bringing the
church and the poer in closer relation
Another distinguished clergyman said
that when the diyinely intended opportu.
nifty to labor is given to all men, one
great cause of the present widespread
suffering and restitution will be removed
These are wise and noble words. Ye,
any other views from sn Episcopal cler-
gyman having q large parish in New
York or in any otner large city would be
less than Cdristian-less than common
sense. It is claimed that the Epis-
copal church attends more closely
to benevolence and charity-stud-
les deeper into causes and effects

THERE is a new literary luminary in
the heavens, the eaulgence of whose light
promises to dim the luster of Gil contem-
porary writer's. It is Miss Cynthiana
Cleveland, a cousin of President Cleve-

author is the heroine and an
the dark villain. The
book is said to be rich, rare
and racy, and, if it is true to life, it
ought to be. The Treasury Department
is fertile field for realistic literature.
